SUMMARY:Opening reception: Harlem Blues and Jazz Band exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Suffolk County Historical Society Museum will host a three-month exhibit detailing the history of the Harlem Blues and Jazz Band. \nHarlem Blues and Jazz Band was formed in 1973\, when a passionate music aficionado\, Dr. Al Vollmer\, recognized that a significant pool of the great NYC jazz musicians of the 1920s and 30s had retired as musicians. Motivated to revive their talents\, Vollmer encouraged these talented artists to pick up their instruments once again\, and Harlem Blues and Jazz Band was formed. The band was established not only to honor the legacy of the country’s greatest jazz ensembles but also to pay homage to the genre’s roots: The Blues. \nThe public is invited to an opening reception and a meet-and-greet with the band on Saturday\, Feb. 22 from 1 to 3 p.m. Admission is free for members of the Suffolk County Historical Society and $5 for nonmembers.
